Racing in the street Emmylou Harris
[C]I got a sixty-nine Chevy with a 396
Fuelie [F]heads and a Hurst on the floor
[Dm]She's waiting tonight down in the parking lot
Outside the [F]Seven-Eleven store
Me and my [C]partner Sonny built her straight out of scratch
And he [F]rides with me from town to town
We only [Dm]run for the money got no strings attached
We shut `em [F]up and then we shut `em down
To[C]night tonight the strip's just right
I'm gonna [F]blow `em off in my first heat
[Dm]Summer's here and the time is right
For ra[F]cin' in the street [C]
[C]We take all the action we can meet
And we [F]cover all the northeast states
When the [Dm]strip shuts down we run `em in the street
>From the[F] fire roads to the interstate
Now S[C]ome guys they just give up living
And start dying [F]little by little piece by piece
Some guys [Dm]come home from work and wash up
And go [F]racin' in the street
[C]Tonight tonight the strip's just right
I'm gonna [F]blow `em all out of their seats
[Dm]Calling out around the world
We're going [F]racin' in the street
SOLO
[C]He met her on the strip three years ago
In a [F]Camaro with this dude from L.A.
He [Dm]blew that Camaro off his back and he [F]drove that little girl away
But now there's [C]wrinkles around his baby's eyes
And she [F]cries herself to sleep at night
When [Dm]he comes home the house is dark
She says [F]Baby make it all right
She [C]sits on the porch of her daddy's house
But [F]all her pretty dreams are torn
She [Dm]stares out alone into the night
With the eyes of [F]one who hates for just being born
For all the [C]shut-down strangers and hot rod angels
[F]Rumbling through this promised land
[Dm]Tonight my baby and me we're gonna ride to the sea
And [F]wash these sins off our hands
T[C]onight tonight the highway's bright
Out of our [F]way mister you best keep
Cause [Dm]summer's here and the time is right
For [F]racin' in the street [C] [Bb] [C] [Bb] [F] [C]
